Teach Secondary Magazine V. 12. No.3 Retour à l'édition précédente

“Welcome…
It’s fair to say that relations between Ofsted and school leaders have been somewhat turbulent at times – but following the death of headteacher Ruth Perry, a profound, perhaps irrevocable change seems to have taken place. Perry took her own life in January of this year, shortly before her school, Caversham Primary School in Berkshire, was due to receive an Inadequate rating from the regulator. As this issue of Teach Secondary went to press, her family released a media statement which read, "We are in no doubt that Ruth's death was a direct result of the pressure put on her by the process and outcome of an Ofsted inspection at her school. We do not for an instant recognise Ofsted's 'inadequate' judgement as a true reflection of Ruth's exemplary leadership or
of the wonderful school she led."
